### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Absoluetly a great sports story about a fascinating young man.
  

*by G***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024*

Extremely well written and the story is one to hear. Goes way beyond sports (and the sports descriptions were great) and a great deal about cultures and human strengths and weaknesses. LOVED IT!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A moving tribute not only to a great athlete but to a loyal and devoted human being
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021*

This expressively written book reminded me that as great as Giannis' basketball skills are, he is first and foremost a devoted son, brother, partner and, yes,  patriot (despite the ill-treatment afforded him and his family by so many of his countrymen.)  This book is a heartfelt tribute to a remarkable person.What I like best about this book is that it not only describes in remarkable detail the journey that Giannis took to become the "Greek Freak," but that it takes the time to put that story in context--examining the  relevant social, cultural and historical backdrop against which Giannis's rise to fame took place.  We learn, for example, about the impact of "Golden Dawn"--the right wing, xenophobic white supremacist group that saw in families like Giannis' a threat to their own white domination and privilege--on Greeks of color.  We learn with considerable detail about the extreme poverty experienced by Giannis's families and so many others.  And we learn about the very human need to identify with a nation and with a home.  Giannis' love of his native home, Greece, is so poignantly expressed by him and his family--against the challenge of obtaining official papers that would confirm Giannis' Greek citizenship (despite having been born in Greece, he would not necessarily be granted citizenship).Later, when achieving fame in the league whose stars he had idolized for so long, Giannis would consider Milwaukee his home, too--and would turn down the opportunity to move to a bigger, glitzier city (with all the perks that a bigger market would provide).  Giannis is, above all, loyal--to family and to those who have faith in him, as  his loyalty to the Bucks and Milwaukee fans amply shows .Mirin Fader has elegantly and movingly presented all these aspects of Giannis' story.  I highly recommend this book, for fans and non-fans alike.

    An incredible story about the life of Giannis. Even readers who don't watch the NBA would love it.
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021*

Mirin Fader's story gives you a deeper understanding of the life of Giannis than you can even imagine. It makes you feel and understand what he and his family went through as they struggled as immigrants living in Greece, how he first fell in love with basketball, what factors led him to become the success he has as an NBA MVP and champion. It has remarkable anecdotes about his life that I won't spoil here. But let's just say the cookie jar one will stick with me forever. Some are funny. Others are infurating. A few of them are depressing. All of them, in some way, can inspire you. There are life lessons woven throughout, but you are never batted over the head with preachy quotes or passages. The reader takes from the book what they want. Every basketball should own this book, but the truth is you could not know a single thing about basketball and still love this book because it's about far more than just sports. It's a book about joy, struggle, sacrifice, family, love, and so much more. This is a book for everyone.
